A group of young people are being interviewed ahead of a new global cosplay convention. Why do they cosplay; who do they cosplay as; how does it make them feel? As each cosplayer answers these questions, we journey through each of their worlds, from the inciting incident that led them to cosplay, to their feelings of empowerment when in full costume. A spectacle of the tragic, comedic and the mundane, COSPLAY asks what is more real: the roles we must fulfill in our everyday lives; or the fiction we feel best represents us?
